Low Cost Decorating Ideas

01 Jul 2016

I recently moved into a new apartment and Decided this time I wanted to decorate. I had some trouble at first, but after visiting a few websites and reading some magazines I finally had some idea of how to decorate. I had to keep in mind that I really didn't want to spend too much money doing this.I wanted to show you easy and low cost decorating ideas.

Canvas the Area

Create a Side Table

Stack modular storage units (from $22, amazon.com) to make a stepped side table with surfaces for displays and lighting.

Hang Plates

Plates in unexpected colors make a fresh wall arrangement. Vary hues (within a family), sizes, textures. Put the most dramatic plate toward the center (lay out the plates first to experiment); attach wire plate hangers and hang plates on picture nails.

Lighten Up With Wicker

Inexpensive wicker that looks as if it belongs outdoors changes the mood of any room. Put chairs in a sunny corner of their own or mix them with your upholstered pieces.

Make Your Own Art

Even photocopied art looks sophisticated when it floats between two pieces of glass in Umbra’s Document Frames (from $13, umbra.com).

Be Crafty

A variation on the idea: Make use of mittens missing their mates. Cut felt to fit the backing of the frame ($24 each, mtsframes.com), then use craft glue to adhere the felt. Center the mitten on the felt and glue it down; let dry overnight.
